I'm trying to setup X under 2.2.7 with a Compaq 590XL, and >I'd like to know what video card is OEM'd with this box. Compaq's website >is vague, and I've heard rumors it uses a Matrox. Any ideas? Thanks. It's probably vague so they can "slipstream" a different video board anytime they can get a better deal. If you have DOS, you can go into debug and go to the video BIOS address space and it will have a manufacturer's ID string telling what kind of video it is. If you have Winblows, you can use MSD. Someone else may have other alternatives... HTH Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
